if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v power_n abuse_v it_o will_v open_v a_o way_n to_o people_n to_o overthrow_v ans_fw-fr power_n due_o administer_v 1._o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o power_n abuse_v shall_v be_v resist_v but_o will_v where_o there_o be_v no_o power_n may_v be_v resist_v ans_fw-fr 2._o true_o there_o be_v danger_n in_o the_o people_n abuse_v their_o liberty_n and_o danger_n in_o magistrate_n abuse_v their_o power_n he_o say_v he_o intend_v not_o to_o lay_v the_o least_o blemish_n upon_o the_o parliament_n yet_o in_o the_o page_n before_o he_o say_v the_o temper_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v dissolve_v and_o upon_o that_o say_v the_o distraction_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n show_v the_o distemper_n and_o ans_fw-fr the_o danger_n of_o dissolution_n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o it_o will_v fill_v much_o paper_n to_o gather_v together_o the_o blemish_n that_o this_o man_n cast_v upon_o the_o parliament_n especial_o in_o his_o last_o page_n but_o that_o be_v not_o my_o work_n i_o will_v glad_o have_v conscience_n resolve_v he_o proceed_v to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o low-countries_n and_o we_o which_o no_o question_n be_v something_o but_o not_o so_o as_o can_v make_v what_o they_o have_v do_v lawful_a and_o yet_o the_o doctor_n tent_n right_a nor_o what_o we_o have_v do_v unlawful_a he_o far_o enlarge_v himself_o in_o discourse_n about_o the_o evil_n that_o accompany_v resist_v of_o power_n still_o we_o say_v power_n shall_v not_o be_v resist_v and_o where_o it_o be_v resist_v sinful_o yea_o where_o ans_fw-fr man_n in_o power_n be_v resist_v any_o way_n there_o be_v like_a to_o follow_v sad_a consequence_n of_o affliction_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n to_o conscience_n about_o the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o resist_a man_n that_o have_v power_n in_o any_o case_n then_o be_v come_v to_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n and_o the_o protestation_n the_o answer_n to_o this_o depend_v upon_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o swear_v only_o to_o the_o legal_a power_n we_o protest_v no_o further_o than_o the_o maintenance_n of_o that_o ans_fw-fr he_o say_v conscience_n will_v look_v at_o that_o power_n he_o have_v as_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n true_o what_o power_n he_o have_v that_o be_v what_o the_o law_n give_v he_o we_o say_v be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n ans_fw-fr but_o his_o abuse_n of_o power_n be_v a_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o we_o must_v cry_v to_o god_n against_o and_o a_o true_a inform_v conscience_n in_o that_o case_n will_v rather_o suffer_v then_o resist_v he_o still_o take_v abuse_v of_o his_o power_n to_o be_v the_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v we_o deny_v that_o to_o be_v abuse_n of_o his_o power_n we_o say_v in_o that_o he_o do_v not_o exercise_v his_o authorative_n power_n at_o all_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o abuse_v it_o if_o indeed_o some_o unjust_a law_n shall_v give_v he_o any_o power_n to_o do_v wrong_n the_o execution_n of_o this_o will_v be_v the_o abuse_n of_o his_o power_n and_o therein_o it_o be_v grant_v a_o true_a inform_v conscience_n will_v rather_o suffer_v then_o resist_v but_o in_o the_o other_o case_n when_o he_o do_v what_o law_n enable_v not_o to_o do_v all_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o doctor_n can_v so_o inform_v our_o conscience_n as_o to_o believe_v the_o state_n must_v rather_o suffer_v then_o resist_v now_o the_o doctor_n cast_v up_o his_o reckon_n and_o think_v he_o find_v it_o come_v to_o thus_o much_o that_o he_o have_v find_v scripture_n and_o reason_n speak_v plain_o against_o resist_v he_o cry_v victory_n to_o himself_o he_o tell_v himself_o what_o the_o issue_n of_o his_o own_o thought_n come_v to_o but_o he_o reckon_v without_o his_o host_n his_o conquest_n be_v too_o hasty_a we_o be_v not_o of_o his_o mind_n i_o will_v only_o observe_v one_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o his_o section_n if_o any_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o name_n of_o a_o parliament_n as_o papist_n be_v with_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n if_o the_o church_n can_v do_v as_o much_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o parliament_n can_v do_v in_o matter_n of_o the_o state_n the_o papist_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o be_v take_v ans_fw-fr so_o much_o with_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o be_v not_o for_o be_v take_v so_o much_o with_o the_o name_n of_o the_o parliament_n for_o 1._o the_o church_n can_v make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n or_o nullify_v the_o old_a but_o the_o parliament_n can_v make_v new_a maxim_n to_o be_v account_v law_n that_o be_v not_o before_o and_o undo_v what_o be_v before_o 2._o the_o church_n have_v not_o a_o judicial_a power_n of_o interpret_n the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o judicial_a power_n of_o interpret_n the_o law_n of_o the_o state_n so_o as_o that_o be_v to_o be_v account_v law_n which_o they_o interpret_v to_o be_v so_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o whatsoever_o interpretation_n they_o make_v be_v the_o scope_n and_o intention_n of_o that_o law_n when_o it_o be_v first_o make_v but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o their_o interpretation_n must_v be_v account_v as_o much_o bind_n to_o we_o for_o obedience_n as_o the_o scope_n and_o intention_n of_o that_o parliament_n that_o first_o make_v that_o law_n thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o his_o scripture_n and_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o his_o book_n and_o i_o hope_v other_o will_v have_v do_v with_o it_o too_o if_o man_n conscience_n be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o subject_n take_v up_o arm_n against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n his_o other_o part_n every_o one_o who_o understand_v how_o thing_n be_v with_o we_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v satisfy_v will_v be_v soon_o able_a to_o satisfy_v himself_o the_o substance_n of_o all_o that_o follow_v be_v suppose_v that_o subject_n may_v take_v up_o arm_n yet_o whether_o there_o be_v sufficient_a cause_n for_o we_o to_o do_v it_o towards_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o book_n the_o dr._n begin_v to_o be_v hot_a and_o somewhat_o bitter_a but_o i_o shall_v not_o here_o follow_v he_o in_o particular_n but_o in_o the_o general_a thus_o what_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o kingdom_n be_v whether_o in_o danger_n

and_o feel_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o our_o kingdom_n be_v in_o great_a danger_n but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o doctor_n sit_v in_o his_o study_n like_o another_o archimedis_n draw_v his_o line_n and_o the_o sword_n must_v be_v about_o his_o ear_n before_o he_o will_v see_v or_o believe_v any_o danger_n to_o ward_n we_o the_o doctor_n put_v the_o case_n thus_o whether_o the_o

this_o he_o be_v as_o miserable_o mistake_v as_o in_o all_o his_o other_o ground_n from_o scripture_n and_o his_o reason_n if_o he_o think_v this_o be_v the_o controversy_n for_o 1._o we_o take_v up_o
